Pros

The company allows for a lot of interesting technical challenges, and technical expertise is very much appreciated by other coworkers. The company pays a good salary.

Cons

A significant share of management does not have the technical insight, nor do they seek advice to make decisions about which approach serves the business goal most.

Questionable management skills: It is a common practice within management to assume that every problem in the project plan can be solved by overtime requests.

Advice to Management

Support technical leads by making sure they have enough time to further innovate and spread their knowledge to colleagues, instead of loading more and more work on them until they risk final burnout.
